CITY OF LAKE ELMO, MSA PROJECT PUBLIC HEARING, JUNE 30, 1981 Mayor Eder opened the hearing at 8 p.m. Councillors in attendance: Novak, Morgan, Mottaz and Fraser. Also Administrator Whittaker and Engineer Bohrer. Engineer Bohrer reviewed the project, the variance request for 30 mph curves, estimated costs and MSA funding. General Comments on the Project Dave Storholm Asked what needs to be done to make the road line up 5240 Keats with the section line. Engineer Bohrer Said the present road generally lies to the west of the section line and consideration is being given to putting it exactly on the section line. This detail is usually worked out during the final plan review. Cost estimates are based on realigning the road and the least expensive approach will be followed.. Dave Storholm Asked about paving the existing road; less costly. Engineer Bohrer Can pave road as it exists today - have an option. Consideration of the impact on both sides of the road would be given and a decision of which would have the least impact on property owners on either side. R. Menz 5615 Keats Asked how far off center Keats is. Engineer Bohrer It is worst at 36. The section line is very close to the east side of the road. About 10 ft. off center at this point; by the time it reaches 47th St. it is about right on the line. At no point is it too far to the east. Recent certificates of survey for property in this area have the property description going to the section line. Surveys he has seen show a 33 ft. road easement off of the section line. Even tho the road may be mis- placed there may still be an easement. Ron Kane Asked about the cost to individual property owners. 5010 Keats Engineer Bohrer Have computed it a number of different ways. Will address later in the hearing. Chuck Meyer Aeked if the City would need additional property other than the 33 ft. easement included in the survey. Engineer Bohrer Depending on the terrain sometimes additional temporary f easements may be necessary in order to make the slope. Estimates for compensation has been included in the project. Also the public has a right or easement over the road as it is presently aligned the right of the Public meanders with the road.
